Hello world

  • “Bulum” means “instrument”, so it literally means “bum instrument”

  • Well, the button says “pull to start” and the sign says “do not push” so we’re good to start it, right?

  • Some Men Have Extra Ovaries

  • It’s a Hamilton reference.

  • Check the page tomorrow. Maybe different?

  • Fortunately this is fake, it was made by Alan Wagner on Instagram who goes around sticking up posters like this. If it was real that last sentence would be seriously concerning, obviously.

  • Can a panther be born from two black panthers and not be black?

    Based on my rudimentary high-school knowledge of alleles, the answer would be “yes” for some jaguar pairings, with a 25% chance of getting a regular jaguar in those pairings. It wouldn’t be possible for leopards.

    I’m not an expert though so if I’m wrong feel free to correct me

  • OC isn't claiming that the shift in the industry is solely Apple's fault:

    I don’t hate Apple but I do hate their influence

    The reality is that what OC said is exactly what happened. Apple removed the headphone jack to coerce people into buying AirPods. Everyone else released their own wireless earbuds to compete, and also removes their headphone jacks for the same reason.

  • Swift’s extensions system has spoiled me, and I feel the pain of this whenever I have to write Java

  • Backend of the app or the lemmy server? if it is not stored on the lemmy server then there will be no way to delete it even if the app stores the token.

    Apologies, I worded that badly. Lemmy uses an image hosting service called pictrs to manage the images you upload, which is largely separated from the rest of the Lemmy backend. Pictrs of course stores the delete tokens matching each image, but Lemmy doesn't associate those tokens with the posts or comments they originated from as far as I know.

  • I’m a developer of a Lemmy client. When you upload an image to a Lemmy instance, the instance returns a “delete token”. Later, you can ask the instance to delete the image attached to the delete token. So as long as you keep hold of the delete token for a specific image, you’re able to delete it later.

    Lemmy-ui (the official frontend) will give you the option to delete an image again shortly after uploading it. However, it’s not possible to remove the image after actually creating the post, as the delete token associated with that post isn’t remembered anywhere on the Lemmy backend.

    As for other Lemmy clients, YMMV. The client I work on (Mlem) deletes images if you remove them from a post before posting it, but has the same pitfall as Lemmy-ui in that it won’t delete the image if you’ve already created the post.

    It would be possible to locally save the delete tokens of every image you upload, so that you can request that they be removed later. I don’t know of any clients that can do this yet, though (if someone knows of one, feel free to mention it).

    Edit: clarity

  • This is Philomena Cunk, a satirical BBC news reporter. They produce videos in which she interviews historical experts but only asks them stupid questions like “Were the pyramids built from the ground up, or from the top down?”

  • X is kiss, O is hug (at least, in the UK it is)

  • The first part of the joke is that the image shows “Mitosis” - a process in which a cell splits in two. The word sounds like “my toe, sis”.

    The second part of the joke is that the Mitosis diagram vaguely resembles “Loss”, a webcomic. https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss
